Problem Description

Use what we have learned so far from chapters 1, 2, and 3 to build a program that performs some simple calculator operations.

Required Reading

Chapters 1, 2, and 3

You are expected to use only the material we have covered in the course so far. Even if you know of another way to solve this programming problem, please stick to the approach we are using in this class.

Learning Goals

Learn to work with

• input / output
• variables
• data types
• arithmetic operators

Prerequisites

• Complete all lab assignments up to this point

Task

Write a program that prompts a user for input, performs calculations, and outputs the results. Your program should prompt, calculate, and output 10 calculations. Use the scanner class to collect user input. Use arithmetic operators to perform calculations. Use meaningful variable names and appropriate data types. Include introductory comments and inline comments that explain what the code is doing. Use prompts and output messages that communicate clearly.

Sample User Interaction and Output for this Project

(User input is shown in bold)

Addition: Please enter a whole number

5

Please enter another whole number

23

The sum of 5 and 23 is 28.

Preparing for the next calculation...

Multiplication: Please enter a number with a decimal point

2.357

Please enter another number with a decimal point

1.38

The product of 2.357 and 1.38 is 3.25266

<<<<< END SAMPLE >>>>>>

Prompts, user input, and program output should continue as illustrated above until the program has completed 10 calculations. You can choose which calculations you would like your program to do. Include some variety.
